School Lunches

Herne View Church of England Primary School is dedicated to providing an environment that promotes healthy eating and enabling pupils to make informed choices about the food they eat.

Our aims

• ensure that healthy food and drink is provided at all times of the day that responds to statutory guidance in relation to nutrition

• meet the stipulated Food Standards detailed within the Requirements for School Food Regulations 2014

• be allergy aware and make the ingredients within dishes known to students

• ensure that we are giving consistent messages about food and health to students

• provide our students with the information they need to make healthy choices

• promote health awareness

• contribute to the healthy physical development of all members of our school community.

Our food

Our caterers BAM provide a rolling three week menu of hot food, cooked on site, which includes a dessert and a vegetarian option every day. BAM can cater for all major food allergies and also for children who follow a halal diet.

If you would like further information regarding food allergens, please contact the school office on 01460 52686 or via [email protected].

Parents order food via the SchoolGrid website. This allows parents to order, amend and cancel their child's lunch orders, and view allergy information.

All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 can receive a free hot meal at school under the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme, and this is something we encourage families to take advantage of.
